Latvijas Avize prints an article about recently issued book Identity of Russians in Latvia: Historical and Sociological Essay. Columnist of the newspaper blames one of the authors of the book academician Ilga Apine for the false statement that the declaration on condemnation of Soviet occupation regime adopted by the Saeima in 2005 was cancelled in 2007. In an interview with the newspaper Ilga Apine has stated that adoption of the declaration has aggravated ethnic relations in Latvia because it is hateful towards non-Latvians stipulating that those who have arrived to Latvia in Soviet times are occupants. Ilze Apine has admitted that de jure it would be incorrect to say that the declaration was cancelled, however, the Saeima has put it aside by adopting border agreement with Russia without it.
